Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking the end of an era, this is the final studio album to feature long-time vocalist Pasi Koskinen before his departure. The record continues the Finnish group's pivot away from extreme metal, fully embracing highly atmospheric progressive metal and clean vocal melodies heavily inspired by traditional folklore.
